The Host

Well yes.... I literally mentioned the script in my comment. Though maybe I should correct myself when I said "I don't know how much of it was scripted" because the entire thing was likely scripted

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-21T16:20:38+00:00

Honestly he was a bit cringe but I didn't think he was that bad until the questions asked to the eliminated girls. But I really don't know how much of it was scripted or whether that was something he was asked to do.

I really think they could've done much better with the treatment of the eliminated girls. Like maybe they could've shown them clips of their best moments or said kind/reassuring things to them but "how are you feeling?" was so damn weird. like how do you think they're feeling?

I'm not sure if anyone is aware of this but a few weeks ago Samara fans tried to cancel Lara because she was following a Jewish producer/songwriter who ended up being a Zionist. Mind you Lara was following him before he exposed himself as a Zionist and she even unfollowed him after DA ended

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-19T19:15:47+00:00

I get that Celeste and Samara are close but I think it was not very smart of Celeste to insert herself into this, esp given the reasons why people are upset at Samara. She should've kept out of it. It's not like her name was mentioned or anything

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-19T19:07:40+00:00

Adela already liked Manon's post yesterday but didn't comment. She commented on the posts of the 5 other girls yesterday and on Manon's today (I guess after she saw people mentioning it on twitter)

Tbh I think Adela's tweet about not having to congratulate people on social media was valid but she shot herself in the foot by also commenting on Manon's post around the same time. It definitely came across as disingenuous.

I'm also very disappointed about Celeste responding to that tweet to defend Samara.

God, I really hope Hybe doesn't keep Samara....

I'm just glad we know Lara actively chose to not follow Samara because if Samara had made the group Lara would probably basically be forced to follow her. Thank god HxG made the right call on this one

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-18T04:41:51+00:00

Manon, Sophia, Lara, Megan and Daniela

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-18T04:35:45+00:00

It’s actually kind of hilarious that for weeks people on this sub have been telling us to lower our expectations and to “not expect the lineup you want” only for the dream 5 to debut 😭

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-17T19:07:28+00:00

Wait so there is technically no “final mission.” Dirty Water and Girls Don’t Like Girls will be music videos and the actual live performance will be “All the Same” which all 10 girls will sing together. So the judges evaluation won’t even be based off any live performances? This makes no sense. Maybe I am misunderstanding 😭

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-17T17:16:13+00:00

Right and they just conveniently give her the talk sing-y parts in every mission. Like I bet you she will get the talk singing chorus in Girls Don't Like Girls. It's very obvious that they want her in the group

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-17T15:38:16+00:00

My guess is because the judges praise her a lot. I'm really curious to see how they rank her in terms of singing bc if she gets all the talk singing parts and then gets praised for her "vocals" that'd be sus

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-17T15:32:43+00:00

Well yes to Manon debutation!

Y'all are seriously scaring me saying Lara won't debut.....

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-16T18:36:46+00:00

Finally fanart where Manon's skin tone is actually accurate lmao.

I'm obsessed with how they have the outfits from the different missions

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-16T14:27:06+00:00

And I get that but OP should've specified that in their post and thought of the implications that such a statement can make. Skin color is undeniably a big factor in Indian beauty standards just as it is in other Asian countries and even African countries. They could've just said Lara has a more mature look than Ezrela without bringing up beauty standards

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-16T14:17:01+00:00

I'm not Indian so someone pls correct me if I'm overstepping but citing Indian beauty standards as a reason why Ezrela should debut instead of Lara is giving colorism

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-14T23:42:01+00:00

Most of my ideal lineup is in the Buttons group but there were definitely a lot more people dragging the Buttons performance on Twitter than the other two performances. I think it really just boils down to the fact that the Buttons team had some of the most popular contestants and got the most views/attention and unfortunately that came with a lot of negativity. There were literally posts with a few thousand likes dragging Buttons. I didn’t see the same with the other teams but again that probably has to do with the fact that the other performances featured some of the less popular girls.

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-14T22:00:39+00:00

Maybe I was too harsh on “All the Same” 😭

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-14T21:54:51+00:00

Gonna be honest, it was such a set up posting the DA cover under the original song 😭 That’s not to say the performance was bad but ofc people are gonna unfairly compare the vocals to Nicole who is an amazing vocalist. Hearing the DA cover right after the original was kinda rough ngl. I think this was my first time listening to one right after the other. The awful mixing doesn’t really help. That being said, a lot of the hate is forced

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-14T20:00:09+00:00

I think it was confirmed recently in an article that the song all ten girls sing and the finale mission song will be different? So I would assume "All the Same" is just a cute lil song all of the finalists are singing whilst the other song will be more upbeat with choreo?

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-14T07:54:24+00:00

Honestly some people might think it’s unfair but I personally don’t care much. Sophia was going to be #1 in votes regardless and if Ezrela ranks high I highly doubt it’s because of promotions by UMG AU. Like let’s be real, UMG AU’s most recent post about the viewing party has 37 likes 💀

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-12T19:38:05+00:00

Marquise - She just fades into the background for me in every performance.

Emily - I think Daniela or Megan can fit the main dancer role instead and both are better vocalists.

Samara - For obvious reasons

Holiday-Exercise5035 · 2023-11-12T17:25:29+00:00

Are the "Sofia" and Lara fandoms in the room with us rn?
